Danielle Logan scored 19 points, including two crucial free throws with 16.6 seconds left, and Sudan rallied from as many as 11 down late in the third quarter for a 57-54 victory over No. 10 Plains in a Class 1A, Division I regional quarterfinal Tuesday at the Rip Griffin Center.

"All I can say is there's a group of kids that are in that dressing room waiting for me that will not quit," Sudan head coach Lisa Logan said. "They refuse to lose."

The No. 8 Nettes (30-3) advance to the Region I tournament to face Clarendon (23-4) at 8 p.m. Friday at the Texan Dome in Levelland.

The Nettes trailed 46-40 going into the fourth quarter but promptly opened the fourth quarter on a 9-0 run. The Cowgirls stayed within striking distance as 3-pointers by Tori Reyes and Haley Welch twice pulled Plains to within a point.

But Logan gave Sudan a little cushion with her free throws, then Plains came up short on two game-tying 3-point attempts in the final three seconds.
